video drivers for RHFC5

#1 Post by colryn » Fri Mar 24, 2006 9:19 am

Has anybody found the display drivers for Redhat Fedora Core 5? It found my ATI card but not the screen.

Hmm. It'd be more helpful if you let us know what computer you're trying this on?

I've never bothered specifying the screen in either gentoo or any other distro I've tried. Just call it "generic" and be done with it, or name it whatever you want. As long as you have a good refresh rate specified in your xorg (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) then you'll be fine.

I also use a "generic" screen. My laptop has a 1024x768 pixel LCD panel, so In Fedora's configuration utility (system-config-display), I picked the "Generic 1024x768 LCD", and it works great.
